Friday Night Lights at Duke Softball Stadium is an exclusive four-hour experience designed for elite 2028 & 2029 graduates who aspire to compete at the highest level of college softball. From 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM, athletes will step into the shoes of a Duke Softball student-athlete, experiencing the pace, energy, and competitive environment that defines our program.

This is more than a skills camp—it's an opportunity to experience what it means to be a Blue Devil.

Throughout the evening, campers will train alongside Duke's coaching staff in a high-energy, game-like atmosphere while receiving instruction in offensive and defensive development, position-specific work, competitive drills, and live game situations.

The Friday Night Lights Experience Camp is specifically designed for players in the 2028 & 2029 graduating class who are interested in learning more about Duke University and showcasing their abilities in an elite training environment. Coaches will evaluate athleticism, softball IQ, work ethic, coachability, communication, and competitiveness throughout the evening.
